Colour Burst in Winter

Style Theory: To brighten up long winter days add a pop of colour to your outfits with a bright jacket or coat. Wear now with all black and in the summer throw over white jeans and T Shirts for cool look on long summer evenings.

My pink coat is my 'go to' for a dash of colour, it adds a splash of much needed brightness to all my outfits and can be worn with a huge array of colours, in the winter with black, navy and berry, in the Summer I wear it with denim/chambray shirts and pale denim jeans...For extra warmth in the colder months wear with a biker jacket underneath and an oversize scarf...Asos have a fab range of oversize scarves you can wear with now with block bright coats..

Here are a few of the best colour pop jackets and lightweight coats on the high street now..

Adore this coat, would look fab with berry colours, navy and black..can be styled like this..

 Or perhaps red is your colour..
Zara Round Neck Handmade Coat £109
Mix up your red colour this Spring a berry coloured sweater for a stunning and unexpected colour clash

Or add a colour pop to an everyday outfit...

So if green is your colour this one is a gorgeous choice...
Marks and Spencer Nehru Collar Textured Car Coat with Wool £99
This coat looks much better on, wear with a navy sweater, jeans and white trainers, add a orange cross body bag for an extra winter pop of colour. In the summer, wear with a cream, fine sweater, skinny light blue jeans and white trainers or tan sandals.

Or style like this...swap the white courts for tan strappy sandals for a comfortable option..

Finally you could try a pink coat, a great colour to mix and match with so many outfits and colours...reds, camel, navy, berry, black..the list is endless..

Here are a few ideas of how to style your pink coat, love it with the grey marl t-shirt and the distressed jeans..

  1. Great post. A good reminder of the power of a pop of colour. I love your trainers but obviously as i've now decided i want them/ won't look too old wearing them they seemed to have sold out everywhere! x

  4. I eye up that green coat every time I'm in M&S. Very similar to the Zara one that Kat had last year. But I think I'd look just a bit to twee & patriotic in that particular shade of green ,,, usually just reserved for Paddy's Day over here!!
